the Month
Jack Rabbit . . .
"No animal is more familiar to the
desert traveler than the black-tailed
hare, popularly known as the desert
jack rabbit," writes Dr. Edmund Jaeger
in his "Our Desert Neighbors." First
prize winner of this month's photography
contest is Dr. John F. Kahle of
Flagstaff, who took this close-up of a
long-eared jack. Dr. Kahle used a
Linhof Super Technica 4x5 camera with
150 mm. Schneider Xenar lens; Super
Pan Press Type B film; exposed with
200 WS Synctron electronic flash with
Gxtension head set at f. 32.

Don't forget to take the
youngsters along next
time you explore the desert
— especially if you're
going out to look for gem
and mineral specimens. It
may lead to a lifelong
hobby of endless possibilities.
This is the advice
Joe L. Orr of Los Angeles
placed in the caption of
his second prize photo of
two boys discussing the
merits of a stone.
